Introduction: Bepridil is effective for atrial fibrillation (AF), but it can induce torsades de pointes. Thus we examined the efficacy and safety of bepridil when started at 100 mg/day for AF after failed electrical cardioversion (EC).

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

A case report of cardiogenic syncope in the adolescent.
The article presents authors’ observation of a clinical case of the girl aged 15 years old with cardiogenic syncope due to sick sinus syndrome, which progressed from normocardia sinus rhythm to pauses of the cardiac rhythm lasting 10.2-second during 3 ...

Maintenance of sinus rhythm after atrial defibrillation. [PDF]
The long-term results of 356 episodes of atrial defibrillation by DC shock carried out in 250 patients are reviewed. In 78 per cent of the cases, atrial fibrillation recurred by the end of 12 months in spite of the administration of quinidine or procainamide or propranolol, singly or combined.

Transient unexpected improvement of AV conduction: What is the mechanism? [PDF]
This ECG was recorded from a 93 year old patient with a previously documented third degree AV block and an underlying LBBB. The twelve lead ECG demonstrates sinus bradycardia at a rate of 52 beats per minute, a PR interval of 230 milliseconds, and a ...

EFFECTIVENESS OF UNIPOLAR RADIOFREQUENCY SURGICAL ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Aim. To verify the effectiveness of surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation by irrigated unipolar radiofrequency, applied to both atria, for the reversal and maintenance of the sinus rhythm in the short and medium term in patients undergoing ...

Comparison of the Relationship Between Inflammatory Markers and Atrial Fibrillation Burden
Background: Atrial fibrillation is a complex disease with irregular ventricular response and tachycardia as a result of irregular and rapid contraction of the atria, with poor cardiovascular outcomes unless treated. Various mechanisms are involved in its

Clinical and Procedural Effects of Transitioning to Contact Force Guided Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
Background: A major innovation in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has been the introduction of contact force (CF) sensing catheters. Objective: To evaluate procedural and clinical effects of transitioning to CF-guided AF ablation.

Spontaneous Pothole Cardioversion of a Wide Complex Tachycardia
External mechanical forces, if properly timed and of sufficient energy, have rarely been reported to convert tachyarrhythmias to sinus rhythm. We report a case of a patient with a wide-complex tachycardia that spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm ...
